Does anyone remember that exactly one week ago, when the Wimbledon draw was released, everyone in the 6/8 division where Gao Wen was located generally believed that the first three rounds would not be a challenge for Gao Wen, and the real difficulty should start from the fourth round.

The matchup in the round of 16 is "Gawain VS Dimitrov".

Of course, people are not optimistic that Dimitrov can pass three levels in a row. The general focus is on whether Gawain's old rival Pospisil will advance to the next level.

In a blink of an eye, a week had passed, and an unexpected but reasonable matchup appeared, with Dimitrov standing in front of Gawain.

Bustling and vigorous.

Although it was unexpected, in terms of topicality, this match was obviously much more exciting. When Gawain and Dimitrov both won and advanced, all the reporters were excited.

Press Conference Room No. 1 and Press Conference Room No. 3 were both focusing on the same hot topic, and one could even feel the heat in the air.

"No, of course not."

Dimitrov was not surprised at all. He had already prepared himself mentally. To be more precise, he had been waiting since the moment the draw list came out.

"Obviously, Gao Wen is the more favored party. You don't need to deceive me. I can see the online public opinion survey and I know this is the fact."

"Ha ha."

"But that doesn't mean I'm going to surrender."

"On the contrary, I will go out on the court, I will fight with all my might, I will do everything I can to win and win a place in the quarterfinals with my actions."

"This is a kind of respect and also a kind of honor. It is precisely because Gao Wen is my friend that I need to be more unreserved in this game."

"The fact that this is the All England Club, I think my experience should be able to help a lot. If I could choose a venue to face Coleman, this would be the perfect choice."

Dimitrov faced reporters' questions with dignity and openness.

The reporter felt a little regretful.

Just a few weeks ago, Dimitrov still looked depressed and frustrated, as if a look or a word could easily hurt him.

Now Dimitrov has regained his confidence, and once again displays that high-spirited and suave demeanor. The aura he exudes in his every move is different.

The reporter was frustrated but refused to give up. "So, have you met with Gao Wen? Have you discussed this? Will this game be particularly difficult? Will you be a little more cautious in the face of this important game?"

"After the game, you guys pulled me here right away, so I don't have a chance to meet Gao Wen for now."

“But I think things should not have changed.”

"We are all professional players. We all know what is going on. There is no need to avoid it deliberately, which would make it seem contrived."

"Of course, things will be a little different. Gao Wen and I probably won't practice together before the game. I think Gao Wen won't mind, but I need to retain my experience advantage."

"Ha ha."

After saying this, Dimitrov couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At the same time, Gao Wen is also facing the same problem——

After a brief silence and astonishment, the reporters quickly regained their composure.

How could they forget the most prominent and important topic right before them?

"...Honestly, I don't mind. If Gregor is willing, then we can train together before the game. I'm not worried about being spied on. After all, I don't have any secrets on the grass court."

The same question, and the joke between Gao Wen's words made the audience burst into laughter.

The difficulty level is different when dealing with Gao Wen, so the attitude of the reporters is naturally different. Of course, the situations and positions of the two players are also different, so the angles of entry are naturally different.

The reporters are ready to gain sympathy by posing as a defeated soldier.

"Gawain, you and Gregor are friends, and he's clearly in a very difficult and very low place."

"His world ranking has fallen out of the top ten, and winning three consecutive tournaments seems to have become a challenge. The departure of his meritorious coach has also caused some controversy, and the chaos in his own team has also affected his training."

"The situation is still declining."

"Wimbledon is his last redemption. Last year's semi-final points are almost half of Gregor's current world ranking points. If he loses these points, he is likely to fall out of the top 20 or even the top 30."

As he was talking, the reporter noticed a subtle change in Gawain's expression.

He slightly raised his chin and looked at the reporter intently, with a hint of playful scrutiny in his eyes, just like a cat playing with a mouse. There was a faint smile hidden at the corner of his mouth, and he actually had a sense of looking down on others.

A subtle strangeness surged in the air, as if something was not right.

But the key point is that Gao Wen did not interrupt the reporter, but encouraged him to continue with his eyes.

The reporter was unsure and felt more and more guilty the more he spoke, but there was no turning back once the work had started, so he had no choice but to continue since he was stuck halfway.

"And you are looking forward to reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in your career and becoming a member of the All England Club's special quarterfinal club."

"We can foresee that this game will be very special and very difficult. How do you feel about this?"

The questioning was over, and it was Gao Wen's turn to answer. However, Gao Wen had no intention of speaking. He still had an excited expression on his face, and his eyes were always on the reporter and the people around him.

The calm look in his eyes makes people feel creepy.

The air slowly became tense.

The reporters fell silent again, and no one dared to speak to break the deadlock until Gao Wen spoke himself.

"The half-full glass theory is very interesting. Everyone looks at things from a different perspective and standpoint."

"In your opinion, Gregor needs sympathy, needs help, needs a helping hand, but this is your opinion, and it is obviously not what a competitive sports player thinks in his mind."

"I don't think Gregor needs sympathy, nor do I think Gregor needs mercy from me."

"Don't forget that a week ago, many people doubted whether I could win on grass and no one realised that Gregor could be competitive."

“So, we came here.”

"To be honest, you are all very surprised by this round of 16 matchup, right?"

"But I don't."

"I believe Gregor has the talent and ability to beat any player and I am confident that Gregor will be able to prove himself once again at the All England Club."

“So, you are wrong.”

"I will go out there and I will give it my all and I will focus on winning because Gregor is also a champion and a fighter and he needs my 100 percent focus and he deserves a fair fight."

"If you ask me if our friendship will be a variable in this game, the answer is yes, because I will be more focused and more committed. This is the respect from one friend to another friend, and also the respect from one professional player to another professional player."

"Two days from now, we don't know the outcome of the game, but I will sit here and face the result with no regrets."

"How about this answer? Are you satisfied with it?"
